states do not use  except the State of Jammu and Kashmir  own flags. The flag
of Nagaland is unofficial and represents the independent Nagaland and anyway not the
Indian federal state.

The name
"Nagaland" has its roots of course in the "Naga People". This is the
state-forming ethnic group. Interesting is, that the name "Naga" is a foreign
denomination for the many ethnic groups and tribes in the region. Those are namely very
different and know actually no mutual collecting summarizing term and even not a communal
spirit. This arises by pressure from outside.
